Carefree Path of Dreams

“The Southern Region of the Great Sage Immortal World alone is already many times bigger than the Sixteen Countries… Even an Immortal might take years to travel in this place…”

The Black Dragon Flying Carriage turned into a white line as it sped forward rapidly.

Fang Yuan opened the window and occasionally observed the scenery below.

“The Qi of Heaven and Earth here is much denser than in the Sixteen Countries. The fire of life of the mortals in the cities is also much more vigorous, and the numbers are much higher… Does this mean I’m more likely to find cultivators here?

“And the so-called ‘lands of spirit veins’ are much more frequent than in the Sixteen Countries…”

It was very difficult to imagine what kind of external force could destroy such a formidable cultivation world.

“Perhaps… I might have other thoughts after seeing the Primordial Godfiends and Chaos Godfiends…”

This kind of Godfiend was a completely different type of lifeform than the Mental Demon Demon God.

For Mental Demon Demon Gods, they were still affected by the Mental Demon Realm, so their power system was also inclined toward the Mental Demon aspect.

However, a Godfiend was like a pure chaos lifeform that could innately absorb Chaos Qi and grew within chaos.

“To destroy a world, it’s beyond the reach of even Chaos Godfiends. In the depths of the chaos, there’s definitely a higher-level Godfiend existence…”

This could also explain the difference between demon disasters.

If it was merely an invasion by some otherworldly demons or Primordial Godfiends, it was a small-scale demon disaster, and Holy Lands were more than capable of dealing with it.

However, the appearance of a Chaos Godfiend could threaten even the mightiest Holy Lands, such as Mount Mengyan, and this was a large-scale demon disaster!

Fang Yuan guessed that if a Godfiend a higher-level than a Chaos Godfiend appeared… it would truly be a world annihilation!

Not only the world, but even the universe was at risk of being terminated!

“According to the information I obtained, there’s less than twenty years before the next demon disaster… This is why the Sixteen Countries established the Combat Heavenly Palace to gather the strength of all the Immortals across the sects and countries to resist the otherworldly demons… However, great damage has been dealt to their vitality this time…”

He had killed a number of Immortals from the Sixteen Countries and ruthlessly raided every sect once. They could be said to have suffered serious injuries.

Under such circumstances, they still had to cope with a Demonic Tribulation. Even the smallest-scale demon disaster would be difficult for them to manage.

Without mentioning anything else, the arrival of a Primordial Demon God was enough to exterminate all the sects in the Sixteen Countries if they did not receive external help.

“In a world of extraordinary individuals, weakness is a sin…”

Fang Yuan sighed and immediately retracted his thoughts to gaze at the small banner in his hand.

The current Ten Thousand Beast Banner, especially after destroying two sects, had swallowed countless spirit essences and been refined with a large number of precious materials, vastly different from when it was with the snake Fey.

The flagpole was blackish-red with dense and complicated imprints on it. As for the flag itself, it was pitch black, as though it led to an unknown space with countless savage soul beasts within.

“The Ten Thousand Beast Banner is now undoubtedly a top-grade dao artifact. After I transcend my tribulation and become Immortal, I can definitely upgrade it into an immortal artifact! Its potential is truly limitless!”

A magic treasure that could continuously upgrade… Fang Yuan only knew this Ten Thousand Beast Banner that could do so.

“The Ten Thousand Beast Banner at perfection has imprints of the natural source of all the beast souls on the banner itself. Usually, only a trace of the soul power gets sent out as illusory images. Therefore, regardless of the consumption, as long as there’s still magic power, the Ten Thousand Beast Banner itself will not become damaged.

“Not only that, but after refining the Ten Thousand Beast Banner, it can also absorb and seize the souls of others, no matter whether they’re Fey beasts, barbarian totem materializations, or ordinary cultivators. The more it swallows, the more powerful it becomes!

“On the way here, I encountered many dangerous Fey beasts, and I had the Ten Thousand Beast Banner absorb the Fey souls while matching it with many materials. Its current foundation is incomparable, more than enough to upgrade it to an immortal artifact. There’s even hope for it becoming a primordial treasure!”

As the name ‘primordial treasure’ suggested, most of them were treasures born from heaven and earth, and had undergone an endless period of nurturing.

However, in this cultivation world, a few almighties could produce treasures of such caliber with unbelievable techniques and methods.

“However… rumor has it that primordial treasure is the endpoint for refining artifacts. Although there are true treasures beyond this grade, they are born from the universe, and no one can meddle with them…”

…

While Fang Yuan was fostering the dao artifact and immersed in his cultivation…

Rays of light flashed across the horizon, and a few brilliant lights caught up hurriedly.

“We are the law enforcement disciples of the Heavenly Circuit Immortal Sect. The flying carriage in front, stop quickly!”

These rays of light arrived menacingly before eventually turning into a few flying sword cultivators to block the carriage’s path. The one in the lead was actually an Immortal!

“Why are you blocking my path?”

Fang Yuan scanned these disciples. The Heavenly Circuit Immortal Sect was indeed a cultivation Holy Land. Most law enforcement disciples had Nascent Soul cultivation, with very few at Golden Core. Moreover, each of them had profound and obscure magic power. If a Primordial Core or Apotheosis realm cultivator from the Hundred Thousand Mountains were to fight them one-on-one, the one from Hundred Thousand Mountains would most likely be the loser.

In comparison, when the barbarian cultivators fought against cultivators from the Sixteen Countries, they had a huge advantage against cultivators of the same level.

But this is only possible for the Heavenly Circuit Immortal Sect since it’s a Holy Land, and the entire Southern Region is their territory. It can naturally pick the best for disciples!

Different thoughts flashed through Fang Yuan’s mind as he looked at them calmly.

This mere Nascent Soul cultivator is really arrogant! The leading Immortal frowned. After all, they were from the Heavenly Circuit Immortal Sect, and it was puzzling that this Nascent Soul cultivator dared to act this way.

At this moment, regardless of who the other party was, he transmitted a message. “We are currently chasing a fugitive from our sect! Release the restrictions of your flying carriage so that we can inspect it!”

“Martial Uncle, why waste so much time with him?” A male disciple looked at the Black Dragon Flying Carriage, clearly having set his heart on it. In the Southern Region, since when is there anyone that we, the Heavenly Circuit Immortal Sect, are afraid of? This person seems very wealthy…

With this thought, traces of evil rays flashed across his eyes. “Where are you from? Have you not heard of the prestige of the Heavenly Circuit Immortal Sect? Why aren’t you quickly releasing the restrictions?”

“Oh… I’m only an itinerant cultivator!” Fang Yuan put away the flying carriage and appeared in midair. “So, am I the person you’re supposed to arrest?”

“This…” The leading Immortal was suddenly slightly hesitant.

The other’s Nascent Soul aura was genuine, but he seemed to have an exceptional confidence that made him not want to force the issue excessively.

Martial Uncle, he’s only an itinerant cultivator, but he seems very wealthy. Why don’t we… The male disciple who spoke earlier immediately transmitted a lot of crafty plots and then turned his head. “Hey… you’re still suspicious unless you take out your storage magic artifact for us to check thoroughly.”

In his heart, he was pleasantly satisfied with himself. If the other person was not as wealthy as he first thought, they could let him leave, but if they spotted any valuable treasures, even his martial uncle might act before him.

“Sigh…” Fang Yuan could not help but sigh. “There is a path to heaven that you chose not to take. There is no gate to hell, yet you choose to barge in. I originally didn’t intend to kill anyone…”

“What?” While the male disciple was shocked, Saber Qi emerged right in front of him.

“Ah! Martial Uncle, save me!”

After all, he was a heaven’s chosen. As soon as his spiritual will moved, a life-saving talisman turned into a light canopy, and he retreated swiftly.

But in that instant, the Saber Qi penetrated the defense as though it did not exist, and his head exploded.

“Martial Nephew Yun Xiu?” The leading Immortal narrowed his eyes slightly. “I wonder which Fellow Daoist actually dares to kill a disciple of my sect?”

At this point, he naturally did not think that Fang Yuan was merely at Nascent Soul!

“Too much nonsense!” Fang Yuan teleported above the Immortal. “Blade of Universe!”

Poof!

Under the dazzling silver river of saber light, the Immortal’s immortal body disintegrated thoroughly, and the other disciples also died.

Roar Roar!

A small banner appeared in Fang Yuan’s hand as he formed hand seals. Numerous fierce beasts emerged to devour the souls of these Golden Core and Nascent Soul disciples.

Shortly afterward, he looked at the small blood-red dot on his hand. “Tsk tsk… Seems like a cursing power on the Immortal will attach itself onto the person who killed him? Too bad…”

As a cultivation Holy Land, there were naturally techniques to determine the life and death of disciples, even mystic techniques to lock onto the enemy.

This Heavenly Circuit Immortal Sect’s mystic technique was undoubtedly the cause of the downfalls of many demons, who did not even know how they died.

Unfortunately, Fang Yuan was always extremely cautious, and the Illusion Realm’s nomological laws completely protected his body.

His Illusion Realm armor was neither here nor in this world. His body appeared to be here, but he was actually multiple spaces away. Instead, he had sealed the curse.

With the red dot in his hand, Fang Yuan landed on the ground and looked at a mound. “Come out!”

Splash!

The soil separated. A youth in luxurious clothing and a cultivator who looked like a housekeeper walked out and bowed respectfully. “Junior Sun Xun thanks Senior for your help!”

“It’s fine! Where are you from, and why is the Heavenly Circuit Immortal Sect after you?” Fang Yuan asked casually.

“I am a member of the Sun Family of the Southern Region’s Lingfeng City. Because I offended a disciple of the Heavenly Circuit Immortal Sect, I was framed for exterminating an entire family. I had no choice but to go far away!”

Sun Xun secretly sized up Fang Yuan before bowing. “May I invite Senior to escort me to the Iron Mountain Gate? Junior will reward you generously!”

“Haha…” Fang Yuan laughed. “Do I look like I need your rewards?”

“Senior!” Sun Xun panicked as he hurriedly continued, “My family has a deep relationship with the Iron Mountain Gate, and the Iron Mountain Gate is a Holy Land of the Central Region, a branch of the Golden Soul Sect…”

“Oh? And what does this have to do with me?” Fang Yuan’s glare seemed to penetrate their hearts. “Let me tell you something else. Since you’re lowly, you shouldn’t have excessive expectations!”

He waved his hand, and the red dot entered Sun Xun’s body like a clay ox entering the sea.

“Senior… you…”

Sun Xun’s eyes were about to pop out of their sockets, and the old servant behind him was ready to pounce forward.

However, Fang Yuan brushed his sleeve, and the two of them collapsed before he disappeared without a trace.
